At work we are always seeking how to make our websites use fewer resources and perform better. One of the performance increase was found by having Lowercase URLs. From the testing done, it resulted that Lowercase URLs make an average performance improvement of 10%. A big improvement with minimal effort.

How do you make sure that all the URLs are in lowercase? In MVC ASP.Net, you just need to add 1 line of code.

Yesterday early in the morning, at about 2 o’clock I was still up, and spared a few minutes to try out some optimisations on my own site, www.nine.com.mt. In the afternoon I had a great surprise, the optimisations I did improved my Alexa ranking position by much over 1 million positions. I know I’m still far far below but using some simple optimisations, your website can also start ranking higher.

The Title Tag is the text displayed at the top of the browser window and is one of the most important tags for a website.

This is part of SEO series of posts – SEO Secrets – which is brought to you by guys at Project Nine, who are always on the lookout to check that all their websites are as SEO friendly as possible.

The more page views, the more there is a chance that new users will view your post. This is one of the main goals that web developers and administrators have for their websites. Check out the next top 5 tips to achive this goal and increase your website traffic.

The first tip is:

Content and Presentation

Create and maintain the content on your website or blog. The content that you write must actually be interesting for the user. The content must be presented in a way to not be difficult for the user to read and understand. Sometimes you find sites that aren’t made for users, but for search engines to increase their ranking. Having high quality content that is updated regularly and well presented will keep your customers coming back.

The first thing that I needed to choose was to either store the blog under a subdomain (ie. blog.domain.com) or as a subdirectory (ie. domain.com/blog). Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages but the most important thing is the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Which is the best solution to use for your blog’s address?

Business blogs can be a powerful marketing tool. When you blog about your products and brands, you’ll brand your company as authentic and knowledgeable. In my opinion you could start blogging as soon as you can even before you start your business. It takes a bit of time until search engines start indexing your pages.

Blogging is a relatively low cost activity that will add value to your business for a long time to come, and in many cases blogging alone can push your business to prosperity getting users to your site that wouldn’t normally come. Read more on how to blog and how to start…
